I'd like to feature certain people that I admire in my blog from time to time. The first one being: LIGHTS, a Canadian singer/songwriter. Though her electro-pop music is pretty awesome, watching her play acoustic guitar and sing with no editing is what makes me respect her the most...heck, part of the reason I want to learn how to play guitar is because of her (it may also be a little bit of Taylor Swift's fault).
Why I think she's amazing & should switch lives with me (or at least let me be her best friend):
1. She's talented. But not just talented, EPICALLY TALENTED. Jealousy-Inducing-Talented.
2. She plays Keytar and is an avid fan of video games, particulary World of Warcraft.
3. She has seemingly the most unique, genuine, sweet, warm-hearted personality ever.
4. She loves beef jerky. That's just a random fact, but it's endearing somehow.
5. She wears combat boots like no other and cites Lara Croft as her fashion inspiration.
6. She has a weapon wall in her apartment (covered in laser guns and swords) - badass.
7. She has multiple tattoos and long straight black hair that makes me envious.
8. She rocks this whole intergalactic, space theme that reminds me of wanting to be an astronaut as a kid.
9. She's gorgeous!
Basically, I have an immense amount of respect for her and everything she does inspires in me some way. She's not afraid to be herself and doesn't care what others think. She's one of those individuals in life that make you want to strive to be a better person. I don't want to sound dramatic, it's just, she makes me want to embrace what's different about myself instead of trying to fit/blend in with others, create and experience music on a personal level, and so much more that I don't want to list so as not as not to sound like an obsessed fangirl. (but I am. Shhhhh)
Basically, just do yourself a favor and check out her music on these pages:
and then watch this video of her performing "Romance Is" (a cool un-released song played acoustically)
Luckily for me, she's touring with Owl City in Charleston in February! It's sold out, but I bought tickets during pre-sale, so guess who's going? ME! (crossing my fingers so so tight that I have the opportunity to meet her & get an autograph and picture)
